MILK

Sm—We also have complained to the hirelings who have charge of our health through the milk supply, and on one occasion actually had an inspector call and collect a sample of the milk; but we were not given the result or any information. The raw milk, this summer in particular, has been a risk to use; and if it is raw jnilk we are being sold, my 40 years of experience goes for naught, as it goes rotten as pasteurised milk does instead of sour, as one would expect. In the good old. days before money-making monopolies got a stranglehold on our milk, competition and the free choice of vendors were our protection and redress; but today we have absolutely none. From using three quarts of milk daily for a family of six, we nowadays use less than one quart, and that only in tea or for cooking purposes.—Yours, etc., G. 1.8. April 21, 1955.

NEW ZEALAND MOTORISTS Sir, —We are in agreement with “Genevieve” that a long line of gleaming, chrome-encrusted beauties is much easier on the eye than a straggle of battle-scarred veterans of the motoring world; but a great number of the dreadful looking “square things with a wheel on each corner” (some even have a spare one on the back) are paid for. We wonder how many of the owners (?) of the latest model can say that. —Yours, etc., CHRYSTABEL’S OWNER. April 21, 1955.
